As my book deadline closes in really really fast, there are a few people I was having email correspondence with who used Tormail addresses and I’ve now lost contact. I really would like to hear from them again. And a few others to boot…

Help me get this Silk Road book finished!

The rub is, I don’t want to name the three I most want to hear back from, because I promised I wouldn’t out them by username. So… if you think there’s any chance you might be one of the people I’m talking about, please get in contact soon! Think money laundering, security, moderating…

And it’s a long shot, but if Atlantis’s Loera and/or Vlad, or EnterTheMatrix or Tony76 (assuming you haven’t really been contract-killed) would care to get in touch with me I’d love to hear from you too. 🙂

Anyone else who has anything unique to share – especially ex-SR mods/admins or No.1 vendors or anyone who got arrested etc – who would care to get in touch, please do.

I’ve had an overwhelming number of SR buyers and sellers tell me their stories or offer to help and have tried to respond to them all, but if I missed you, please accept my most sincere apologies.

The most successful Australian vendor on Silk Road has conned their customers out of tens of thousands of dollars

Red pill, blue pill or no pills?

Aussie vendor EnterTheMatrix had a simple and effective business model. Purchase Australia’s most popular party drugs from overseas vendors on Silk Road, add a 400% markup and resell them to Aussie Silk Road customers. Although there were plenty of grumbles about the prices, those who wanted their drugs quickly (ETM sent by Express Post) and did not want to take the risk of importing via Customs (legal consequences are much harsher when ordering overseas) begrudgingly paid a premium. After all, it was around the same as street prices and at least the quality of the goods tended to be consistently high.

Silk Road, as I reported previously, is the online illicit drug marketplace that has defied law enforcement efforts to close it down. Last month, Silk Road reported the greatest scam in its fifteen-month history, which cost the site’s users over a hundred thousand dollars in just two days.

Silk Road’s vendors live and die by their reputation and feedback, which buyers give much as they do on eBay. Nobody on Silk Road had a better reputation or more enthusiastic feedback than Tony76, a vendor of heroin, stimulants and psychedelics from Canada.
